I started writing about Alana in "Bound by Honour" about 30 years before my granddaughter Alana was born. In fact Alana's Mum was a baby when the story began to emerge and was hastily scribbled down during nappy (diaper) changes and feeds and all the things a Mum has to do with two young children. I was delighted when many years later my daughter decided to call her first girl Alana after the heroine in my story.
Today, on World Book Day 2020, my granddaughter Alana dressed up as my Celtic Alana and took a copy of my book to school. How lovely. I have yet to see a photo and very much hope they took one.
